With 70% of the vote John Tyler Hammons is the new mayor of Muskogee, Oklahoma as of Tuesday. The city of 38,000 people is in the northeastern part of the state. The catch is, Hammons is a 19-year-old college freshman at the University of Oklahoma.

“Being elected does not change my desire to continue my education,” he said. “We will schedule our time in an appropriate fashion so that I can be mayor and stay in school.”

Hammons replaces Wren Stratton, who decided not to seek re-election after one term.
